germany's finance minister is not happy at one of the key points in the greek rescue decided by e.u. leaders last week he says the euro zone fund did not agree to blank checks for buying greek bonds and in another development today the i.m.f. sworn in france that it needs more cuts to avoid becoming the next victim of the debt crisis economics or third patrick young told me paris's problem started a long time ago. the problem is look these aren't things that have just happened suddenly i mean the french budget deficit has been in a deficit the french budget since one thousand nine hundred seventy four i mean leaves are things that have been going on for thirty or forty years it's absolutely ludicrous untruthfully governments need to stop spending and they need to be very realistic about their budgets and there are fundamental problems going all the way through the euro zone and we don't have any leaders who are willing to give us a sustainable solution this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for

weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness and it goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago we've got the situation at the moment where provincial libraries in northern germany are being closed because the money isn't there because it's being used to fund people in the mediterranean i think german voters are going to get very angry about that very very soon and i actually think the political will is not there amongst the people to endlessly keep bailing out their saw their neighbors it's going to be a huge problem because ultimately the contagion is going to hit and i really do believe that after last week's events unfortunately we only enjoyed closer to the idea of a total euro meltdown. well in america the debt hole there is causing companies to cut and run. we have people here that have worked here all of their lives and losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make

a buck and pay the cheapest possible they've upped sticks to india leaving former employees of the state stranded and jobless and. the u.s. military says it will continue airborne reconnaissance missions in a china those despite beijing's protests last month after two chinese fighter jets had to set to begin to spy plane over taiwan which china claims as its territory called helen and from the american based foreign policy in focus think tank says the rift is part of competition for energy routes in the region. right now the united states is the number one user of energy in the world and china is the number two and chinese oil eighty percent of chinese energy supplies hooved by sea the move through the straits of from once which is controlled by the american civil war in move. which controlled by the american seventh fleet chinese are very sensitive to this they tell me they worry about the fact that the united states could sort of

put it on their energy john miller vein this is part of a worldwide competition for energy resources between a number one and the number two powers now energy users in the world and the fact that the united states has pretty much surrounded most of china with maces that go all the way from central asia to the north pacific that's the context in which this takes place. now a few minutes the school strikes back the sun is in full pelt brushes heat wave of the real dangers on the ground with fears that smoldering paid boats could spark in the choking smoke some. also blacklist diplomacy between washington and moscow as the u.s. travels for russian officials still reeling from a boy is deaf in jail even though the approach is not yet complete but more on that as well coming up on the program. when security council is holding an urgent meeting it said he has requested the flaring of violence in northern coast of fresh clashes began when kosovo police seized two disputed border checkpoints to prevent

the transfer of goods from serbia serbs which dominate northern kosovo were outraged by the move which used to when used destroy the checkpoints there are no nato peacekeepers moving to stop the violence the situation remains tense political analyst alexander pavel belgrade says serb should be treated as an infringing minority on land that they were god still is their own. they're trying to they're trying to enforce some unilateral moves in order to change the reality on the ground to change the reality as it was as it is under u.n. resolution security council resolution twelve forty four always through a session is through public so in other words the serbs or down in kosovo still believe themselves to be part of serbia and they're acting in that capacity now the western states mostly nato states that have recognized course or treating them as a minority on the other hand states that have not recognized of course or

independence and not treating serves as a minority but are seeing them as having equal rights as all of the citizens of serbia but we must remember that the key to the situation of course was really in nato hands they control militarily the entire province so really whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they will tolerate. not tolerate we must also remember what happened yesterday with the burning of the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men he really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french or even american we just still don't know that. a suicide attack on a government compound in southern afghanistan has left at least nineteen dead and over thirty five injured it follows a string of attacks and the killing of president karzai is half brother and it comes as the u.s. withdraws its forces former cia intelligence officer michael scherer told us that

the violence in afghanistan will only escalate. we're watching a charade unfold here in afghanistan the afghan army the afghan national police force are never going to be able to control the country not just because they're have been trained sufficiently but also because they're divided tribal we when we are gone when nato leaves they'll go back to their tribes and they'll fight each other again and so the whole the whole house of cards will come down after the united states and its allies complete their their withdrawal withdraw in defeat really ultimately what we have after ten years of effort in afghanistan is a body count but that's all we don't have any measure of progress against the enemy the kind of hard story the hard fact is that we went there with one mission which was to destroy the taliban and to destroy al qaeda and quite frankly we haven't killed enough of the enemy and their supporters to make any difference we instead

tried to build a western democracy in a country that's conservatively islamic and deeply islamic and so we've failed to do that and the situation is going to remain violent and probably. detrimental certainly very detrimental to pakistan as long as we stay there as long as the ally and stays in afghanistan. former cia intelligence officer michael talking to he was part indeed of a long running effort to eliminate just some of the shares his experience of fighting international terrorism on our website also talking about see the call believe this president fighting against being frank. enjoyed charging us with illegal activities with drug smuggling or terrorism for instance to old timothy destroyers that's their plan i believe him or why he feels the spread from the u.s. right now and. kremlin posters have paid across moscow with president medvedev to trade the super cup with america check out the authorities reaction to

become a book make over. here moscow thanks to the heavens opened a few hours ago to dampen down what is a sweltering heat wave right now as temperatures hit forty degrees in the capital memories of last summer's smoke covered city leaving a chill in the air at his diapers cove reports on how russia's wildfires are back spreading fear as well as flames. now with all smoke and moscow's in panic again the docks a cocktail of beach smoke wood smoke and exhaust fumes that filled the capitol last august is still buried in people's memory intense speed book fires and the record heat wave were blamed for the dense smoke that sent pollution levels soaring ten fold the authorities swore they would be prepared this year to find

a place like this you don't have to go far from the capital this moke is familiar to everyone who was in moscow last summer back then doctors said breathing in the smoke that covered the city was equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again pete boggs may look harmless with just tiny flames on the surface but in fact every square meter requires a ton of water to extinguish the fire burning deep underground. why did it turn a small green peas beneath the surface may undermine or work the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the fries in the moscow region have been successfully extinguished however campaigners say officials are underreporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country. if the situation is made them worse by the bureaucrats instead of reacting swiftly and spend all

their time concealing the information about fires and does make it more difficult to get the bill on time. campaigners say part of the problem is that the forests are being mistreated they say more needs to be done to prevent fires by better management with summer at its peak remnants of camp fires are all across the forest despite a ban introduced a month ago and there's only so much one tears can do when i was driving into the forest out in syria forbidding messiahs there is a huge tax card at the entrance the record breaking heat of summer two thousand and ten resulted in devastating forest fires. it killed sixty two people destroyed one hundred ninety nine towns and reduced city two hundred houses to ashes. the fire was literally coming towards us we could hear the trees crackling they were burning and then hoose the wind blew it the other way. this year most of the countries against weltering and the fires are raging once more large areas of
